Buck Lake Alta. – On January 5th, 2022, members of the RCMP Central Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit (CAD CRU) were conducting surveillance in an area of Buck Lake known to be frequented by criminals.
Officers observed 2 pick up trucks driving together one of which matched the description of a truck stolen in Rocky Mountain House earlier In the day. Officers followed the vehicles until they arrived at a residence in Violet Grove Alta.
As officers entered the property, two suspects attempted to flee the area in one of the trucks. Fortunately, the vehicle was disabled as it fled and officers were able to quickly take the suspects safely into custody.
A subsequent search of the property revealed 5 additional stolen pick up trucks and one stolen 5th wheel. The vehicles were originally stolen from Rocky Mountain House, Drayton Valley, Parkland County, Calmar, and Sangudo.

· Flight from Police
· Possession of a controlled Substance

“Thanks to our ability to seamlessly coordinate resources with both the Breton and Thorsby RCMP Detachments, our unit was able to successfully locate and monitor these two repeat offenders, as they lurked between RCMP jurisdictions, until they could be safely apprehended. CAD CRU’s mandate to investigate multi-jurisdictional offenders in partnership with Central Alberta District Detachments makes it more difficult for these types of offenders to commit crimes and victimize Albertans in one county and run and hide in another.” said Cpl. William Hiscock, the acting Unit Commander of CAD CRU.
